Listing broker remarks

A rare opportunity in Needham Heights: beautifully positioned on a private way, this 2005 Colonial offers generous living space, a flexible floor plan and a flat, fenced yard with patio. With a recent independent appraisal on hand and pricing set well below that supported value, buyers have a rare chance to step into Needham Heights with built-in value from day one. The main level is warm and inviting, with hardwood floors through the formal dining room, fireplaced living room and adjoining family room. The bright, refreshed eat-in kitchen features tile flooring, abundant cabinetry, a pantry and easy access to the backyard through a slider, making everyday living and entertaining feel effortless. A half bath completes the first floor. Upstairs, the primary suite includes a walk-in closet and private bath, along with two additional bedrooms and a dedicated office. From there, the finished walk-up attic expands the possibilities with a bedroom, bonus room and a closet already roughed with plumbing and electric for a future bath. The large, high-ceilinged basement offers excellent storage and future expansion potential. Tucked away yet incredibly convenient, this home is close to Needham Heights shops, restaurants, commuter rail, parks, schools and Route 95/128. Just 14 miles from downtown Boston, with direct commuter rail service to Back Bay and South Station, this is a smart buy with room to grow.— Citylight Homes LLC
